Bolster Chisels

Footprint Brick Bolsters are a trusted tool used by professional tradesmen worldwide for cutting brick. The manufacturing process involves 14 meticulous steps to transform high-quality carbon steel into a Footprint standard Brick Bolster.

The bolster is drop hammer forged from head to blade, resulting in superior strength. The blade is hardened and tempered to ensure a long cutting life. The domed head is designed to delay the onset of mushrooming and splintering that may occur after repeated use, and it also prevents the hand guard from sliding up and off the handle after repeated blows.

The tapered neck is engineered to prevent snapping at the weakest point on the bolster. This blade has additional strengthening ribs down the sides and the center, providing extra strength when cutting larger bricks and blocks.
